UNIT7TESTA当诚实消失时1 “有真正诚实的人吗?”我们的报纸版面和电视新闻充斥着不计其数的有关欺骗、说谎和诈骗的报道,诚实似乎已经成为正在迅速消失的价值观。
而且这些报道表明,全球范围内腐败和不诚实现象蔓延范围之广已经危及到了社会的安康。
这些报道中包括诸如此类的故事:学生因考试前贩卖大学期末考题而面临犯罪指控;一名学生因提交买来的、还夹着收据的学期论文而被勒令退学;一名职员用公司的邮资机来邮寄自己的圣诞贺卡,他在寄了一张贺卡给公司的财务主管后被发现!我们都读过或听过类似的事情,更别说社会各层面存在的种种不诚实行为,如偷窃东西的顾和索取贿赂的政客。
去年一年,一家大型连锁酒店的大量毛巾被游客偷走,酒店因此花费了300万美元来添置新毛巾。
尤其令人担忧的是,世界范围内有关学生不诚实行为的报道越来越多。
2 不过这些报道确实是真实的还是言过其实了呢?我们该不该因这些关于行为准则和道德水准下降的报道而感到不安呢?人们认定现在学生中的不诚实现象比20年、50年或100年前更为广泛。
如果是这样,其背后的原因是什么呢?如果情况确实属实,那就令人十分担心了,因为今天的学生就是未来的领袖!也许现在学生骗人的欲望并不比从前大。
然而,由于大学学位至关重要,这可能给学生带来更大的压力,使他们在学术上造假。
毫无疑问,现代科技使人更容易获得造假的方法和机会。
写学期论文这一艰巨的任务即便不是最可怕的作业,也一直是导致学生神经紧张和沮丧的原因之一。
但是现在,网络唾手可得,点击几下鼠标就能找到非法的资源。
3 现在的学生如果想要伪造学期论文的话不必在网上浏览太长时间。
他们只需要找到合适的网址,然后购买或订购网上论文,或者甚至免费下载论文。
一个网络服务站提供“质量最高、价格最低的论文”,每页只需5.95 美元。
忙碌的、注重节约成本的学生还会找到其他出售“低价”论文的网站,这些网站向顾客许诺“你会既开心又成功。
”有些人担心,曾经被奉为最棒的学习工具的互联网会成为作弊者最得力的帮手。
新视野大学英语第三版第三册课文A翻译Unit 1 The Way to Success 课文ANever, ever give up!永不言弃!英国的伟大首相温斯顿·丘吉尔爵士,小时候在哈罗公学上学。
当时他可不是个好学生,要不是出身名门,他可能早就因为违反纪律被开除了。
谢天谢地,他总算从哈罗毕业了,在那里犯下的错误并没影响到他上大学。
后来,他凭着军旅生涯中的杰出表现当选为英国首相。
他的才思、智慧、公民责任感以及在二战痛苦而黑暗的时期拒绝投降的无畏勇气,为他赢得了美名。
他非凡的决心,不仅激励了整个民族,还鼓舞了全世界。
在他首相任期即将结束时,他应邀前往母校哈罗公学,为满怀报国之志的同学们作演讲。
校长说:“年轻的先生们,当代最伟大的演说家过几天就会来为你们演讲,他提出的任何中肯的建议,你们都要听从。
”那个激动人心的日子终于到了。
温斯顿爵士站了起来——他只有 5 英尺 5 英寸高,体重却有 107 公斤。
他作了言简意赅的讲话:“年轻人,要永不放弃。
永不放弃!永不放弃!永不,永不,永不,永不!”个人经历、教育机会、个人困境,这些都不能阻挡一个全力以赴追求成功的、有着坚强意志的人。
任务再苦,准备再长,难度再大,都不能让他放弃自己的追求。
就以本时代最有学问的两位科学家——阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦和托马斯·爱迪生为例,他们都曾面临巨大的障碍和极端的批评,都曾被说成“不开窍”,被老师当成笨蛋而放弃。
托马斯·爱迪生还曾逃学,因为老师嫌他问的问题太多而经常鞭打他。
爱因斯坦一直到将近 9 岁才能流利地说话,学习成绩太差,有些人认为他都已经学不好了。
然而,这两个男孩的父母都相信他们。
他们坚持不懈地每天和儿子一起努力,孩子们也了解到,要想成功,就绝不要怕付出长期而艰辛的努力。
最终,爱因斯坦和爱迪生都摆脱了童年的困扰,进而作出了造福当今全世界的伟大发现。
再如亚伯拉罕·林肯这个英雄的典范,他一生面临了无数艰辛、失败和接二连三的不幸。
Unit 1Learning a Foreign LanguageLearning a foreign language was one of the most difficult yet most rewarding experiences of my life. Although at times, learning a language was frustrating, it was well worth the effort.My experience with a foreign language began in junior middle school, when I took my first English class. I had a kind and patient teacher who often praised all of the students. Because of this positive method, I eagerly answered all the questions I could, never worrying much about making mistakes. I was at the top of my class for two years.When I went to senior middle school, I was eager to continue studying English; however, my experience in senior school was very different from before. While my former teacher had been patient with all the students, my new teacher quickly punished those who gave incorrect answers. Whenever we answered incorrectly, she pointed a long stick at us and, shaking it up and down, shouted, "No! No! No!" It didn't take me long to lose my eagerness to answer questions. Not only did I lose my joy in answering questions, but also I totally lost my desire to say anything at all in English.However, that state didn't last long. When I went to college, I learned that all students were required to take an English course. Unlike my senior middle school teacher, my college English teachers were patient and kind, and none of them carried long, pointed sticks! However, the situation was far from perfect. As our classes were very large, I was only able to answer a couple of questions in each class period. Also, after a few weeks of classes, I noticed there were many students who spoke much better than I did. I began to feel intimidated. So, once again, although for different reasons, I was afraid to speak. It seemed my English was going to stay at the same level forever.That was the situation until a couple of years later, when I was offered an opportunity to study English through an online course. The communication medium was a computer, phone line, and modem. I soon got access to the necessary equipment, learned the technology from a friend and participated in the virtual classroom 5 to 7 days a week.Online learning is not easier than regular classroom study; it requires much time, commitment and discipline to keep up with the flow of the course. I worked hard to meet the minimum standards set by the course and to complete assignments on time.I practiced all the time. I carried a little dictionary with me everywhere I went, as well as a notebook in which I listed any new words I heard. I made many, sometimes embarrassing, mistakes. Once in a while I cried with frustration, and sometimes I felt like giving up. But I didn't feel intimidated by students who spoke faster than I did because I took all the time I needed to think out my ideas and wrote a reply before posting it on the screen. Then, one day I realized I could understand just about everything I came across, and most importantly, I could "say" anything I wanted to in English. Although I still made many mistakes and was continually learning, I had finally reaped the benefits of all that hard work.Learning a foreign language has been a most trying experience for me, but one that I wouldn't trade for anything. Not only did learning another language teach me the value of hard work, but it also gave me insights into another culture, and my mind was opened to new ways of seeing things. The most wonderful result of having learned a foreign language was that I could communicate with many more people than before. Talking with people is one of my favorite activities, so being able to speak a new language lets me meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new, unforgettable friendships. Now that I speak a foreign language, instead of staring into space when English is being spoken, I can participate and make friends. I am able to reach out to others and bridge the gap between my language and culture and theirs.学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历之一。

车太大,而且太贵。
她就是不愿意考虑买辆开起来省油、停起来省心的实用型汽车。
我想,原因在我。
她买这辆车就是为了让我看看她的能耐。
2 “我 18 岁了,”她经常这样对我说,以至于听得我牙都疼了。
“我是成年人了!” 3 我心想,真的吗?昨天你还在看动画片呢。
今天和昨天又能有多大的变化? 4 今天她走了,远离我去寻求成年人的独立。
我很高兴她离开了。
这意味着她成功了,而我也终于可以从 18 年的责任中脱身了。
但是我还是担心她能不能照顾好自己。
5 她留下的是一片狼藉。
她的卫生间真是凌乱不堪,有没拧干的毛巾,有生锈的剃刀片,散落在面盆里的头发,还有几支快挤空了的牙膏。
我拿了一盒大号的黑色垃圾袋上了楼。
眼影、面霜、指甲油——这些统统扔进垃圾袋。
我把抽屉清空,把架子打扫干净,还把面盆擦洗干净。
1/ 8我打扫完后,卫生间就像酒店里的那样井井有条,丝毫没有人情味儿。
6 在她的卧室里,我发现床下有不配对的袜子,壁橱底板上扔着紫色的裤子。
书桌的抽屉里满是学校的卷子,按照年份和科目归了类。
我发现自己竟然在翻看她的诗歌和作文,欣赏着考卷上的高分,端详着每张考卷右上角她用印刷体工工整整书写的或是打印的她的名字。
我把书桌里的东西收拾到一个盒子里。
六个月,我心想。
如果过了六个月她还不来拿她的东西,我就会把它们一股脑儿全扔了。
这算讲道理了吧。
成年人存放东西是要付费的。
7 轮到整理书的时候,我有些犹豫了。
连环漫画册、青少年小说、言情小说、历史小说,还有课本。
阅读是一辈子的事;每本书都是心爱之物。
UNIT3TEST A互联网时代的大学生活1 大学校园长久以来都是学术之地,也是新技术的前沿。
现在随着手提电脑和智能手机的大量出现,加上每天24小时不间断的网络连接,大学校园正在转而进入电子设备的新时代。
2 在典型的现代校园里,每幢建筑和大部分室外公共区域都提供无线互联网接入, 学生可以把手提电脑带到任何地方。
课堂上,她用手提电脑记笔记,有时如果教授的课一点都没意思,她就会给朋友发送即时信息或电子邮件。
在寝室,她甚至会给近在咫尺的室友发送即时信息。
她离不开智能手机,甚至对住在楼上的朋友也要发短信;在从上一堂课去下一堂课的路上她也要用智能手机听音乐。
3 欢迎来体验21世纪的大学生活:通过源源不断的信息流,学生之间、师生之间以及学生和课堂作业之间建立了电子化的联系,一天24小时,一周7天,从不间断。
在许多学校,无线互联网连接覆盖了校园的各个角落,大学整体上也因此成为世界上互联网最普及的地方。
4 学生们说他们非常看重动动手指就可获得无限的网上信息,还可以在凌晨两点给教授发电子邮件,并能在第二天早上收到教授的回复。
一位工程专业的学生说:“我觉得无论在课内还是在课外,我都拥有一种交流手段。
”5 很多学生不仅使用智能手机自创语体发短信,而且也用智能手机来做更正经的工作,比如练习外语、分析戏剧课的脚本等。
在一所大学的有关美国广播电台历史的课上,学生们用智能手机录下他们自己的广播节目。
教授这门课的教师说:“这提高了学生学习这门课的兴奋感。
”学校也鼓励教授录下授课内容并发布到网上。
一位一流大学的主管说:“我们意识到,像这样一种能够引起学生关注、并促使他们深入思考的工具也许大有潜力。
”6 对于大多数本科生来说,永不间断的互联网是大学生活的动力。
网络工具不只是玩具,而且是储存和管理几乎各种信息的强大工具。
随着世界上越来越多的人使用这些工具,它们已经变得不可或缺。
所以,学生应该运用互联网所创造的奇迹来完成作业、复习讲座提纲、参与课堂讨论、与朋友们进行网上社交。
Unit 1 Section A1. 学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历之一。
虽然时常遭遇挫折,但却非常有价值。
2. 我学外语的经历始于初中的第一堂英语课。
老师很慈祥耐心,时常表扬学生。
由于这种积极的教学方法,我踊跃回答各种问题,从不怕答错。
两年中,我的成绩一直名列前茅。
3. 到了高中后,我渴望继续学习英语。
然而,高中时的经历与以前大不相同。
以前,老师对所有的学生都很耐心,而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生。
每当有谁回答错了,她就会用长教鞭指着我们,上下挥舞大喊:“错!错!错!”没有多久,我便不再渴望回答问题了。
我不仅失去了回答问题的乐趣,而且根本就不想再用英语说半个字。
4. 好在这种情况没持续多久。
到了大学,我了解到所有学生必须上英语课。
与高中老师不同,大学英语老师非常耐心和蔼,而且从来不带教鞭!不过情况却远不尽如人意。
由于班大,每堂课能轮到我回答的问题寥寥无几。
上了几周课后,我还发现许多同学的英语说得比我要好得多。
我开始产生一种畏惧感。
虽然原因与高中时不同,但我却又一次不敢开口了。
看来我的英语水平要永远停步不前了。
5. 直到几年后我有机会参加远程英语课程,情况才有所改善。
这种课程的媒介是一台电脑、一条电话线和一个调制解调器。
我很快配齐了必要的设备并跟一个朋友学会了电脑操作技术,于是我每周用5到7天在网上的虚拟课堂里学习英语。
6. 网上学习并不比普通的课堂学习容易。
它需要花许多的时间,需要学习者专心自律,以跟上课程进度。
我尽力达到课程的最低要求,并按时完成作业。
7. 我随时随地都在学习。
不管去哪里,我都随身携带一本袖珍字典和笔记本,笔记本上记着我遇到的生词。
我学习中出过许多错,有时是令人尴尬的错误。
有时我会因挫折而哭泣,有时甚至想放弃。
新视野大学英语3第三版课文翻译Unit 1 The Way to Success课文ANever, ever give up!永不言弃!As a young boy, Britain's great Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, attended a public school called Harrow. He was not a good student, and had he not been from a famous family, he probably would have been removed from the school for deviating from the rules. Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors there did not preclude him from going on to the university. He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister. He achieved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage in his refusal to surrender during the miserable dark days of World War II. His amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was an inspiration worldwide.Toward the end of his period as prime minister, he was invited to address the patriotic young boys at his old school, Harrow. The headmaster said, "Young gentlemen, the greatest speaker of our time, will be here in a few days to address you, and you should obey whatever sound advice he may give you." The great day arrived. Sir Winston stood up, all five feet, five inches and 107 kilos of him, and gave this short, clear-cut speech: "Young men, never give up. Never give up! Never give up! Never, never, never, never!"英国的伟大首相温斯顿·丘吉尔爵士,小时候在哈罗公学上学。
新视野大学英语第一册课文翻译(New horizon, College English,Volume 1, text translation)New horizon, College English, Volume 1, text translationUnit 11 learning foreign languages is one of the hardest and most meaningful experiences of my life. Although often encountered setbacks, but it is very valuable.2 my experience of learning a foreign language began with my first English lesson in junior high school. The teacher is very kind and patient and always praises the students. Because of this positive method, I eagerly answered all the questions I could. My grades have been among the best for two years.3 after high school, I was eager to continue learning english. However, high school experiences are quite different from what they used to be. Before the teacher had been patient with all the students, my new teacher quickly punished those who gave incorrect answers. Whenever we answered wrong, she will use a long stick at us, shaking it up and down, shouting: "wrong! Wrong! Wrong!" Before long, I was no longer eager to answer questions. Not only did I lose the pleasure of answering questions, but I didn't even want to say half a word in english.4 fortunately, this situation did not last long. At college,I learned that all students had to take English lessons. Different with high school teachers, College English teachers were patient and kind, and never take the pointer! But thesituation is far from satisfactory. As a result of class, every class has very few questions for me to answer. After a few weeks' lessons, I also found that many of my classmates speak English better than I do. I began to feel a sense of dread. Although the reasons were different from those in high school, I dared not speak again.It seems that my English is going to stop forever.5 it wasn't until several years later that I had the chance to take a distance English course that things improved. The medium for this course is a computer, a telephone line and a modem.I soon got access to the necessary equipment from a friend and how to use computer technology, so I use 5 to 7 days a week to learn English in the virtual classroom.6 online learning is no easier than ordinary classroom learning. It takes a lot of time and requires learners to concentrate on their discipline to keep up with the progress of the course.I try my best to meet the minimum requirements of the course and finish my homework on time.7 I study anywhere and anytime. No matter where I go, I always carry a pocket dictionary and notebook with my new words in my notebook. I've made a lot of mistakes in my studies, and sometimes embarrassing mistakes. Sometimes I cry for frustration, and sometimes I even want to give up. But I have never been afraid of speaking faster than my classmates because I can take time to think about my thoughts on my computer screen. Suddenly one day I found myself understood, and more importantly, I spoke English flexibly. Although I still makemistakes, I still have a lot to learn, but I've already tasted the benefits of hard work.8 learning a foreign language is a very difficult experience for me, but it is also very precious. It not only made me understand the meaning of hard work, but also made me understand different cultures and let me look at things in a completely new way of thinking. The most exciting thing about learning a foreign language is that I can communicate with more people. Talking with people is one of my favorite activities. The new language enables me to get in touch with strangers, participate in their conversations, and build new and unforgettable friendships. Because I can speak English, others speak English when I am no longer quite at a loss. I can get involved and make friends. I am able to communicate with people and bridge the gap between the language I speak and the culture I speak and their language and culture.Unit 21, the radio "click", rock and roll will loudly loudly opened. The music woke Sandy like a gunshot. She looked at the clock. It was a quarter past 6 in the morning. She lay on the bed, listening to her favorite radio, humming words.2 "Sandy," her father shouted, "Sandy, turn off the music."!" Steve Finch rushed into her bedroom. "Why do you have to listen to such bad music?" I heard it again and again. It's rhythmic, but I'm afraid it's not real music."3 "I like this kind of music, dad. This is my favorite. Listen,you'll like it." Sandy stretched out his hand to make the music louder.4 "no, don't make so loud noise, I can't stand it.". Turn down the radio so that your mother and I can't hear you. I'm sure the music hurts both your ears and your brain."5 Sandy walks into the bathroom and opens the shower head. Then she grabbed the soap, washed it all over and over, and even washed her hair.6 after the shower, Sandy combed his hair and put on an old green T-shirt and a pair of jeans. Then she put on makeup and walked into the kitchen. As usual, she didn't know what to eat for breakfast, grabbed a glass of milk and stood by the sink for toast. Just then her mother, Jane, went into the kitchen.7 "Sandy,Why don't you sit down to dinner? Eating standing is bad for your health."8 "I know, mom, but I don't have time to sit down and eat."."9, did you do your homework yesterday, honey?"10 "done!"."11, have you brushed your teeth?"12 "Mum, I haven't finished my dinner yet.". Finish, brushagain."13 "Sandy, why are you wearing that old T-shirt?" Dead ugly."14 "Mom, please don't do that."."15 "what's the matter?""16 "don't bother me so much."."17 "Sandy, how did you trace your Eyeliner?""18 "I did, mom.". I've been tracing it for months. Isn't it beautiful?"19 "Sandy Finch, you're too young to make so much make-up."."20 "Mom, I'm 15 years old, and I'm old enough to make up.". To tell you the truth, all the girls at school makeup, some have tattoos, some still wearing earrings, nose rings, tongue ring. Mom, I don't have time to tell you now. I'm running late. I have to go. Goodbye." Sandy gave her mother a quick peck on the cheek, picked up the book and rushed out of the room.21 after Sandy left home for school, Jan Finch sat down quietly for coffee. After a while, her husband came in.22 "Steve, have some coffee?"" Jane asked.23 "no, thanks, honey.". My stomach uncomfortable, The mind is very confused. It's probably that nasty music that wakes me upevery morning. I don't think I'm old enough to fall out of the way, but it's really annoying me to listen endlessly to the boring, boring song."24 "you know, dear, people of different ages like different music," Jane advised. "Do you remember some of the music we've heard?""25 Steve smiled. "You've got a point there.". Maybe having breakfast would make me feel better."26 "did you notice what makeup our 15 year old daughter made this morning?" I can't believe I didn't notice it before. I think we should feel lucky, because our daughter's biggest problem is just make-up. I saw other young people loafing around the town, tattoos, and holes in it."27 "what worries me is," Steve said. "That kind of music can have a negative effect on Sandy. I don't know what happened to our daughter. She's changing. I'm worried about her. Cosmetics, bad music, who knows what will happen next? We have to talk to her. The news is about teenagers who are in trouble, but their parents don't know what's wrong with their children."28 "Oh, I don't think her music is so bad.". "Anyway, you're right, we need to talk to Sandy," Jane said.29 on the way to work, Jan Finch drove in the car, thinking of her Sandy. She knew what she wanted to say. What did she have to say to Sandy?. She was able to communicate with Sandy, which made her happy. She knew she had to be patient and had to keepthe channels of communication between herself and Sandy open. She wanted to be around Sandy and be her protector, as well as her freedom to find her own self.Unit 31 if I were seen with my father when I was young, I would feel embarrassed. He was badly crippled and short. While we were walking together, his hand was resting on my arm to keep balance, and people would stare. I feel awkward about such an annoying stare. Even when his father noticed or felt uneasy, he never showed it.2 our pace was difficult to reconcile - he often stopped and my steps were impatient. Because of this, we talked very little. But as we started out, he always said: "you set the pace, I follow you."3 we usually go back and forth between the subway door and the front door. That's his route to work. He goes to work when he is ill or in bad weather, hardly ever absent from work. He always arrives at the office on time, even though others can't do it. It's something to be proud of.4 on the road covered with snow and ice, even with help, he can hardly walk. This time, I or my sisters with a child's wagon with steel pull him through the streets of Broolyn to the New York subway station. As soon as he got there, he clung to the handrail of the subway and went down, because the subway was warmer and the steps below were free of ice and snow. The subway station in Manhattan goes through the basement of their officebuilding. He doesn't have to leave the station (to the office). Go home, we will pick him to Broolyn subway station.5 now, in retrospect, I can not help wondering how much courage an adult can bear the humiliation and the pressure of being an adult like him, when he seems to have no pain or complaint.6 he never says he is poor,He never shows his admiration for those who are more fortunate or healthy than he is. What he has been looking for from others is a kind heart". Once found, the man was a great man in his mind.7 now that I am grown up, I believe that this is the criterion for judging a person. I don't know exactly what it means to be kind, but I know I don't have such a good heart sometimes".8 although many activities father can not participate, but he tried to participate in some way. When a local baseball team lacked a manager, he made it work. He was a knowledgeable baseball fan and often took me to Ebbets Field to watch the Broolyn Dodgers game. He liked to go to parties and parties, although there he could sit and watch, but he enjoyed himself.9 remember at a beach party, for a fight, everyone with battle, pushing each other. He was not content to sit and watch, but on the soft sand he could not stand up if no one helped him. So in a very helpless situation, he shouted, "who sits down and plays with me? Who wants to sit down and fight me?"!"10 no one sat down and played with him. On the second day, people joked with him, saying that it was the first time a boxer had been asked to fall for defeat before he started the fight.11 now I know he was indirectly involved in some things through me, his only son. When I played, he played, and when I joined the Navy, he joined me. He must let me visit his office when I'm on vacation. When he introduced me, he was actually saying, "it's my son, but it's me.". If I hadn't been lame, I'd have been like him."12 now my father has been dead for many years, but I often think of him. I wondered if he had noticed that I was unwilling to be seen at our company. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was him, I was so unfilial, how I regret. Now, whenever I complain about trifles, when I am envious of another's good fortune, when I don't have a "good heart", I will think of him.13 during this time, I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance,I would say: "you set the pace, I follow you."Unit 41, studies have shown that our judgments of others are based on the silent exchange of seven seconds of our first encounter with them. Whether consciously or unconsciously, we use our eyes, facial expressions, body movements, and attitudes to show our true feelings, thereby producing a series of reactions from comfort to fear.2 think of some of your most memorable meetings: introduced to your future wife or husband, a job interview, an encounter with a stranger. Focus your attention on the first seven seconds. What did you think of that? How do you interpret others? How do you think he read you?3 you are the information. For 25 years, I've worked with thousands of people who want to succeed. I help them, make their speeches persuasive, teach them how to answer unfriendly questions, and how to communicate more effectively with people.And the secret of all this is to know that you are the information.4 if you take advantage of your strengths, others will be willing to be with you and be willing to help you. These include: appearance, vitality, speed, pronunciation, intonation, gestures, eyes, and the ability to keep others interested in you. Other people's impression of you is based on these factors.5 think about the times when you knew exactly how you made a good impression. What's the reason for your success? That's because you're very involved in what you're talking about, and you're totally immersed in it, so you don't feel shy.6 keep yourself. Many instructive books suggest you stride intoa room and impress others with your strengths. They will teach you to greet people with a strong handshake and tell you to stare at each other with your eyes. But if you follow all these tips, you'll make everyone suffer - including yourself.7 the trick is to be consistently self and stay at your best. The most impressive people never change themselves as circumstances change. Whether they are talking to people, speaking at a gardening club, or in a job interview, they all do the same. They communicate with each other wholeheartedly; their tones and gestures are consistent with what they say.8, however, speeches often carry mixed messages.One of my favorite examples of speakers is people who look at their shoes and say, "ladies and gentlemen, I'm glad to be here.". They don't look happy.They looked angry, frightened, or depressed.9 the audience always believes what they see in their own eyes is better than what they hear. "They would think," he told me he was happy, but he wasn't like that. He did not tell the truth."10 use your eyes. Whether you're talking to a person or speaking to one hundred people, always remember to look at them. Some people will look straight at you when you start talking, but when you say a few words, he breaks your eye contact and looks out of the window.11 when you walk into the room, your eyes glance at you calmly, then look straight at the people in the room and smile at them. Smiling is very important. It shows you are relaxed. Some people think that entering a room with many people is like walking into a lion's cage. I disagree with this statement. Even if I agree,I certainly won't look at my feet or the ceiling. I'll watch the lion.12 don't take it too seriously. At a staff meeting, one of the most influential chairman of the entertainment industry, angry at a few trivial questions, blamed everyone for meeting employees who were afraid of themselves. When he came up to me, he shouted to me, "and you, Ayers, what are you busy with?""13 I said, "you mean now?" Tonight? Or in the rest of my life?" There was a moment of silence. Then the chairman raised his head and roared with laughter. The others laughed as well. Humor can break the tension in awkward situations.14 If I had to say my advice in a few words, it would be "don't take it too seriously," and you will always find that some people treat themselves too seriously. They are usually not talking, but talking about themselves.15 look at yourself carefully. Do you say "me" too often? Do you usually focus your attention on your personal problems? Do you complain a lot? For these questions, even if only one of them gives you a positive answer, then you need to "don't take it too seriously.". In order for others to feel at ease, you must act comfortably first.No big changes, just keep yourself. You have the power to make a good impression on yourself, because you can do it well only if you keep yourself. Nobody can take the place of you.Unit 51 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) was discovered in the United States in the late 1970s. Since then, AIDS has claimed more than 20.4 million Americans - half of them in the past few years. In addition, 185 thousand of the 1 million people infected with HIV will die within a year.2 of the people diagnosed with HIV are black and Latino americans. Women and youth in rural communities in the south are the fastest growing group of AIDS patients.3, despite the staggering amount, federal and state governments are slow in implementing plans to prevent the spread of aids. In view of the lack of government action, many local organizations came into being.4 South Carolina AIDS education network was established in 1985 to prevent the increase in the number of AIDS cases. Like many local organizations, the group lacks funds, forcing it to use its resources creatively. In order to reach more community residents, some AIDS education programs are implemented in salons.5, the hair shop owner sends out AIDS information to customers when they come in and shows them a video about AIDS prevention while they wait for their hair to dry. She also put some books and other publications in the store for customers to read while waiting. It is amazing how many people have been educated while she is working.6 recently, the education network has begun to help hairstylists throughout the southeastern United States to implement similar programs in their salons. They are also valuable resources for disseminating information to schools, communities, organizations, and churches.7, the organization also summed up some of the other work in the same work groups are helpful. Although there is no way to overcome AIDS, but this network of institutions in the fight against AIDS has gained the following experience:8< talk to them in a way that community residents can accept.The education of many communities is low, which makes it impossible to distribute AIDS information to them and hope they will read it themselves. In order to solve this problem, some people who are good at painting are required to write AIDS education books for residents with low educational level.9 these books use simple, hand drawn "sad faces" and "happy faces" and other pictures,Describe ways to prevent infection with aids. These books also show pictures that look very similar to those who need to be educated. When residents see familiar faces and can understand the language, they will make more comments and opinions. As a result, these books have a greater impact on the communities that use them than the government's books, and the government publishes books costing thousands of dollars.10< trains teenagers to educate their peers.Because of AIDS in the rural South spreading fastest among teenagers stylists have established an "AIDS busters" training project, 8 to 26 year olds, let them into the community to peer "AIDS 101" course. These teens make the course easy to learn and do much better than adults in explaining the risk of HIV infection to their friends of their age. They also play an important role in helping parents understand the pressures that their children experience from their peers.11 redefine the concept of "danger" and include women of different backgrounds and marital statusA woman's doctor told her that she did not have the risk of contracting AIDS because she was married and did not take drugs. Such misconceptions plague the medical establishment. According to the Centers for disease control, women account for 80% of the number of people living with hiv.12 hair stylists also emphasize that everyone is in danger, so each of us has the right to protect himself - whether married or not.13, these experiences are not the only way to solve the AIDS crisis, but before finding a cure for AIDS, education can be the only safety precaution against HIV infection.14, unlike other infectious diseases, AIDS, the infectious disease, could kill a generation and cause another generation to lose both parents. Therefore, we must not allow cultural, racial and social barriers to prevent us from concentrating on the work we must do. Nor can we give up our work because of theinefficiency of the government. This is an undeclared war, and each of us must take part in it. Only in this way can we win. We must not let AIDS continue to make us feel bad, and let people continue to be deprived of life by aids. Everyone must become an educator and must learn to live.Chinese translation, the main point of view after class, the five questions on the line, and then all the ok.Happy exam!。

你们所取得的成就是你们自己多年努力的结果,也是你们的父母和老师们多年努力的结果。
在这所大学里,我们承诺将使你们学有所成。
2 在欢迎你们到来的这一刻,我想起自己高中毕业时的情景,还有妈妈为我和爸爸拍的合影。
妈妈吩咐我们:“姿势自然点。
”“等一等,”爸爸说,“把我递给他闹钟的情景拍下来。
”在大学期间,那个闹钟每天早晨叫醒我。
至今它还放在我办公室的桌子上。
3 让我来告诉你们一些你们未必预料得到的事情。
你们将会怀念以前的生活习惯,怀念父母曾经提醒你们要刻苦学习、取得佳绩。
你们可能因为高中生活终于结束而喜极而泣,你们的父母也可能因为终于不用再给你们洗衣服而喜极而泣!但是要记住:未来是建立在过去扎实的基础上的。
4 对你们而言,接下来的四年将会是无与伦比的一段时光。

选择一些你从未接触过的领域的课程。
新视野大学英语读写教程(第二版)第一册课文翻译Unit 1 Section B1. 虽然常规的学校依然存在,但虚拟课堂在今天的教学领域中起着重要的作用。
随着学生就业机会的迅速增多,越来越多不同年龄层的人开始意识到这种在家就学的网上学习方式。
然而,网络学生需要具备一些特别的素质才能取得成功。
以下是网上学生要取得成功必备的一些理想素质。
2. (1.与人分享生活、工作及学习经验,这些是网上学习的一部分。
许多人发现网上学习需要他们运用各自的经验,同时又为他们提供了相互交流的场所。
这一交流场所消除了一些学生自我表达的视觉障碍。
此外,学生在答题之前有时间进行思考,这就使得网上环境开放而友好。
3. (2. 能通过书写进行交流。
虚拟课堂的交流几乎都是书面形式。
因而很重要的一点是学生要具有书面表达能力。
有些学生书面表达能力差,有待提高,可以在网上学习之前提高或将其作为网上学习的一部分。
这常常需要他们加倍努力。
不管是单独学习还是小组学习,学生们就学习内容交流观点和见解,并展开讨论,同时了解其他同学的意见。
这样,学生可以从同龄人那里得到启发,既跟老师学,又互相学习。
4. (3. 说出你的困难。
记住,虚拟课堂里老师看不见学生。
这就意味学生必须直接明了地表达自己的看法和要求。
如果碰到技术方面的问题,或在理解课程中遇到困难,必须大胆说出来,否则任何人都无从知晓问题所在。
如果某人不理解某个问题,或许别人也有同样的问题。
如果有哪个学生能解决,他(她)也许就会帮助你。
学生在给他人解释问题时,自己对该问题的认识也加深了。
5. (4. 认真对待课程。
网上学习并不比课堂学习容易。
事实上,许多学生说它需要花更多的时间和努力。
网络课程的要求不低于其他任何一种优质课程。
然而,取得成功的学生认为网上学习是一种便捷的受教育方式,但并不容易。
晚上或周末,为了完成作业,许多网络学生在电脑前一坐就是几个小时。
别人已完成作业和学习,开始玩耍,而此时网络学生却很可能还在上课。
Unit 5 Section A Spend or save — The student's dilemma花钱还是存钱,学生进退维谷1 Do you feel as confused and manipulated as I do with this question, "ShouldI spend or should I save?" I think that the messages we get from our environment seem to defy common sense and contradict each other. The government tells us to spend or we'll never get out of the recession. At the same time, they tell us that unless we save more, our country is in grave danger. Banks offer higher interest rates so we increase savings. Then the same banks send us credit card offers so we can spend more.1 你是不是跟我一样对“我应该花钱还是存钱”这个问题感到困惑,且有被操纵的感觉?我觉得我们从生活的环境里所获得的信息似乎是有违常识、互相矛盾的。
政府告诉我们要花钱,否则我们将永远走不出衰退;与此同时,他们又告诉我们,除非我们节省更多的钱,否则我们的国家会处于严重危险之中。
银行提供较高的利率以增加储蓄。
然后,同样是这些银行又提供信用卡让我们可以花更多的钱。
2 Here's another familiar example: If we don't pay our credit card bill on time, we get demanding, nasty emails from the credit card company saying something like: "Your failure to pay is unacceptable. Pay immediately or you'll be in trouble!" Then, as soon as we pay, we get a follow-up email in a charming tone telling us how valuable a customer we are and encouraging us to resume spending.Which depiction is correct: a failing consumer in trouble or a valued customer? The gap between these two messages is enormous.2 这里还有一个大家熟悉的例子:如果我们不按时支付信用卡账单,我们会收到从信用卡公司发来的类似这样的令人讨厌的催缴账单的电子邮件:不还款是不可接受的。
新视野大学英语第一册Unit 2课文翻译收音机“咔嗒”一声,摇滚乐就大声地响开了。
音乐像枪声似的将桑迪吵醒。
她看了一下钟,早上6点一刻。
她躺在床上,听着她喜欢的电台广播,嘴里哼着歌词。
“桑迪,” 她父亲喊道,“桑迪,把音乐关了!”史蒂夫·芬奇冲进她的卧室。
“你为什么一定要听这么糟糕的音乐?还听了一遍又一遍。
虽然有节奏,可恐怕不是真正的音乐。
”“我喜欢这种音乐,爸爸。
这是我最喜欢的。
您听一下吧,您肯定会喜欢的。
”桑迪伸手把音乐开得更响。
“别,别开那么响,我受不了。
把收音机音量调低点,这样我和你妈妈就听不到了。
我敢肯定,那音乐既伤你的耳朵,又伤你的大脑。
”桑迪走进浴室,打开淋浴喷头。
然后她抓起香皂,浑身上下洗个遍,连头发也洗了。
淋浴后,桑迪梳了梳头发,穿上一件旧的绿色圆领衫和一条牛仔裤。
接着她化好妆,走进了厨房。
和往常一样,她不知道早餐该吃什么,便抓了杯牛奶,站在洗涤槽旁吃烤面包。
就在此时,她妈妈简走进了厨房。
“桑迪,你怎么不坐下吃饭?站着吃饭对身体不好。
”“我知道,妈妈,可我没时间坐着吃。
”“昨天做作业了吧,宝贝?”“做了。
”“刷过牙了?”“妈妈,我还没吃完饭呢。
吃完了再刷。
”“桑迪,你怎么穿那件旧圆领衫呢?难看死了。
”“妈妈,请别这样。
”“别怎么样?”“别这样烦我。
”“桑迪,你怎么描起眼线来了?”“我是描了,妈妈。
我都描了几个月了。
难道不漂亮?”“桑迪·芬奇,你还小,不能化这么浓的妆。
”“妈妈,我都15岁了,到了可以化妆的年龄了。
给您说实话吧,学校的女孩子都化妆,有些还文身,有的还戴耳环、鼻环、舌环呢。
妈妈,我现在没时间给您说,我快迟到了,得走了。
再见。
”桑迪匆匆吻了一下妈妈的脸颊,拿起书冲出了屋子。
桑迪离家上学后,简·芬奇平静地坐下来喝咖啡。
没过一会儿,她丈夫走了进来。
“史蒂夫,喝点咖啡吧?”简问道。
“不,谢谢,亲爱的。
我胃不舒服,心乱如麻。
可能是因为那讨厌的音乐每天早上把我吵醒。
Unit1What we wish我们的期望My dear child,我亲爱的孩子:You are about to participate in the next leg of yourjourney through life. For us, this part is bittersweet.As you go off to college, exciting new worlds willop en up to you. They will inspire and challenge you; you will grow in incredibl e ways.你即将踏上人生的下一段旅程。
这让我们感到喜忧参半。
当你离家、步入大学的校门,激动人心的崭新世界将会展现在你面前。
这将带给你鼓舞,也会使你面临挑战;你将获得更大的进步与成长。
This is also a moment of sadness. Your departure to college makes it unden iably clear thatyou are no longer a child. There has been no greater joy than watching you arrive at thismoment. You have turned our greatest challenge i nto our greatest pride. Although we havebrought you to this point, it is hard to watch you depart. Remember above all things, we willmiss you.这也是令人伤感的时刻。
离家去上大学就明确意味着你不再是个孩子了。
没有什么比看到你走到今天这一步更令我们欣喜的了。
你曾经是我们最大的挑战,现在却成为我们最大的骄傲。
新视野大学英语课文翻译第一册Unit 1学外语学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历。
虽然时常遭遇挫折,但却非常有价值。
我学外语的经历始于初中的第一堂英语课。
老师很慈祥耐心,时常表扬学生。
由于这种积极的教学方法,我踊跃回答各种问题,从不怕答错。
两年中,我的成绩一直名列前茅。
到了高中后,我渴望继续学习英语,然而高中时的经历与以前大不相同。
以前老师对所有的学生都很耐心,而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生。
每当有谁回答错了,她会用长教鞭指着我们,上下挥舞着,大喊道:“错!错!错!”没有多久,我便不再渴望回答问题了。
我不仅失去了回答问题的乐趣,而且根本就不想再用英语说半个字。
然而这种情况没持续多久。
到了大学,我了解到所有学生必须上英语课。
与高中老师不同,大学英语老师非常耐心和蔼,他们没有哪个带教鞭!不过情况却远不尽人意。
由于班大,每堂课能轮到我回答的问题寥寥无几。
上了几周课后,我还发现,许多同学的英语说得比我要好得多。
我开始产生一种畏惧感。
虽然情况与高中时不同,但我却又一次不敢开口了。
看来我的英语水平要永远停步不前了。
几年后我有机会参加了远程英语教学课程,情况才有所改善。
它需要一台电脑、电话线和调制解调器。
我很快配齐了必要的设备并跟一个朋友学会了电脑操作技术,于是我每周用5到7天在网上的虚拟课堂里学习英语。
网上学习并不比普通的课堂学习容易。
它需要花更多的时间,需要学习者专一、自制,以跟上课程进度。
我尽力达到课程的最低限度的要求,并按时完成作业。
我随时随地都在学习。
不管去哪里,我都随身携带一本袖珍字典和笔记本,笔记本上记着我听到的生词。
我学习中出过许多错,有时是令人尴尬的错误。
有时我会因挫折而哭泣,有时我想放弃。
但我从未因别的同学英语说得比我快而感到畏惧,因为在屏幕上作出回答之前,我可以根据自己的需要花时间去琢磨自己的想法。
后来有一天我意识到我能够理解碰到的各种问题,更重要的是,我能用英语表达我想说的东西。
新视野大学英语(第三版)第一册课文翻译第一单元奔向更加光明的未来1 下午好!作为校长,我非常自豪地欢迎你们来到这所大学。

一个绝佳的例子就是时装设计师王薇薇,她最初学的是艺术史。
随着时间的推移,王薇薇把艺术史研究和对时装的热爱结合起来,并将其转化为对设计的热情,从而使她成为全球闻名的设计师。

Unit 1 Text A 一堂难忘的英语课1 如果我是唯一一个还在纠正小孩英语的家长,那么我儿子也许是对的。
对他而言,我是一个乏味的怪物:一个他不得不听其教诲的父亲,一个还沉湎于语法规则的人,对此我儿子似乎颇为反感。
2 我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时,才开始对这个问题认真起来的。
这个学生刚从欧洲旅游回来。
我满怀着诚挚期待问她:“欧洲之行如何?”3 她点了三四下头,绞尽脑汁,苦苦寻找恰当的词语,然后惊呼:“真是,哇!”4 没了。
所有希腊文明和罗马建筑的辉煌居然囊括于一个浓缩的、不完整的语句之中!我的学生以“哇!”来表示她的惊叹,我只能以摇头表达比之更强烈的忧虑。
5 关于正确使用英语能力下降的问题,有许多不同的故事。
学生的确本应该能够区分诸如their/there/they're之间的不同,或区别plimentary 跟plementary之间显而易见的差异。
由于这些知识缺陷,他们承受着大部分不该承受的批评和指责,因为舆论认为他们应该学得更好。
6 学生并不笨,他们只是被周围所看到和听到的语言误导了。
举例来说,杂货店的指示牌会把他们引向stationary(静止处),虽然便笺本、相册、和笔记本等真正的stationery(文具用品)并没有被钉在那儿。
朋友和亲人常宣称They've just ate。
实际上,他们应该说They've just eaten。
因此,批评学生不合乎情理。
7 对这种缺乏语言功底而引起的负面指责应归咎于我们的学校。
学校应对英语熟练程度制定出更高的标准。
可相反,学校只教零星的语法,高级词汇更是少之又少。
还有就是,学校的年轻教师显然缺乏这些重要的语言结构方面的知识,因为他们过去也没接触过。
学校有责任教会年轻人进行有效的语言沟通,可他们并没把语言的基本框架——准确的语法和恰当的词汇——充分地传授给学生。
8 因为语法对大多数年轻学生而言枯燥且乏味,所以我觉得讲授语法得一步一步、注重技巧地进行。

新视野大学英语课文翻译第四册UNIT1 名气之尾1 艺术家追求成名,如同狗自逐其尾,一旦追到手,除了继续追逐,不知道还能做些什么。
成功之残酷正在于它常常让那些追逐成功者自寻毁灭。
2 对于一名正努力追求并刚刚崭露头角的艺术家,其亲朋常常会建议“正经的饭碗不能丢!”他们的担心不无道理。
追求出人头地,最乐观的说也困难重重,许多人到最后不是穷困潦倒,也是几近精神崩溃。
尽管如此,希望赢得追星族追捧和同行赞美之类的不太纯洁的纯洁的动机却在激励着他们前进。
享受成功的无上光荣,这种诱惑不是能轻易抵挡的。
3 成名者之所以成名,大多是因为发挥了自己在唱歌、舞蹈、绘画或写作方面的特长,并能形成自己的风格。
为了能迅速走红,经纪人会极力吹捧他们的这种风格。
他们青云直上的过程让人看不清楚。
他们究竟是怎样成功的,大多数人也都说不上来。
尽管如此,艺术家仍然不能闲下来。
若表演者,画家或作家感到厌烦,他们的作品就难以继续保持以前的吸引力,也就难以保持公众的注意力。
公众的热情消磨以后,就回去追捧下一个走红的人。
有些艺术家为了不落伍,会对他们的写作、跳舞或唱歌的风格稍加变动,但这将冒极大的失宠的危险。
公众对于他们借以成名的艺术风格以外的任何形式都将不屑一顾。
4 知名作家的文风一眼就能看出来,如田纳西.威廉斯的喜剧、欧内斯特.海明威的情节安排、罗伯特弗罗斯特或T.S艾略特的诗歌等。
同样,像莫奈。
雷诺阿、达利这样的画家、希区柯克、费里尼、斯皮尔伯格、陈凯歌或张艺谋这样的电影制作人也是如此。
他们鲜明独特的艺术风格标志着与别人不同的艺术形式上的重大变革,这让他们名利双收,但也让他们付出了代价,那就是失去了用其他风格或形式表现自我的自由。
5 名气这盏聚光灯可比热带丛林还要炙热。
骗局很快会被揭穿,过多的关注带来的压力会让大多数人难以承受。
它让你失去自我。
你必须是公众认可的那个你,而不是真实的你,或是可能的你。
艺人,就像政客一样,必须常常说些违心或连自己都不完全相信的话来取悦听众。
6 一滴名气之水有可能玷污人得心灵这一整口井因此,一个艺术家若能保持真我,会格外让人惊叹你可能答不上来哪些人没有妥协,却仍在这场名利的游戏中获胜。
一个例子就是爱尔兰著名作家奥斯卡.王尔德,他在社交行为和性行为方面以我行我素而闻名于世。
虽然他的行为遭到公众的反对,却依然固我,他也因此付出了惨痛的代价。
在一次宴会上,他一位密友的母亲当着他的朋友和崇拜者的面,指责他在性行为方面影响了她的儿子。
他听了她的话以后,大为光火,起诉了这个年轻人的母亲,声称她毁了他的“好”名声。
但是,他真该请一个更好的律师。
结果是,法官不仅不支持他提出的让这个女人赔偿他名誉损失费的要求,反而对他本人进行了罚款。
他由于拒绝交罚款最终还被送进了监狱。
更糟糕的是,他再也无法获得更多公众的宠爱。
在最糟糕的的时候,他发现没有一个人愿意拿自己的名声冒险来替他说话。
为保持真我,他付出的代价是,在最需要崇拜者时,谁也不理他。
7 奇怪的是,收获最大的恰恰是失败者。
他们收获了自由!他们可以自由地表达,独辟蹊径,不落窠臼不用担心失去崇拜者的支持。
失败的艺术家寻求安慰时,可以想想许多伟大的艺术家都是都是过世多年以后才成名的,或是他们没有出卖自己。
他们也可以为他们的失败辩解:自己的才华实在过于高深,不是当代观众或听众所理解的得了的。
8 那些失败了却仍不肯放弃的顽固派也许会乐于知道,某些名人曾经如何越挫越勇,直至成功。
美国小说家托马斯.乌尔夫第一本小说《向家乡看吧,安琪儿》被拒39次后,才最终得以出版。
贝多芬战胜了父亲认为他音乐家潜质的偏见,成为世界上最伟大的音乐家。
19世纪瑞士著名教育家斯泰洛奇原先干的工作没有一样成功,直到他想到去教小孩子,并研究出一种新型教育模式的基础理论。
托马斯.爱迪生四年级时被赶出了学校,因为老师觉得他似乎太迟钝但不幸的是,对大多数人而言,失败是奋斗的结束,而不是开始。
9 对那些孤注一掷的追名逐利之徒,我要说:祝你们好运但是,遗憾的是,你会发现这不是你想得到的。
狗自逐其尾得到的只是一条尾巴而已。
获得成功的人常常发现成功对她来说弊大于利。
所以,真要为真实的你、为自己的所为感到高兴,而不是拼命去获得成功。
做哪些你为之感到骄傲的事情。
可能在有生之年你默默无闻,但你可能创作了更好的艺术。
Unit 2查理·卓别林他出生在伦敦南部的一个贫困地区,他所穿的短袜是从妈妈的红色长袜上剪下来的。
他妈妈一度被诊断为精神失常。
狄更斯或许会创作出查理·卓别林的童年故事,但只有查理·卓别林才能塑造出了不起的喜剧角色"流浪者",这个使其创作者声名永驻的衣衫褴褛的小人物。
就卓别林而言,其他国家,如法国、意大利、西班牙,甚至日本和朝鲜,比他的出生地给予了他更多的掌声(和更多的收益)。
卓别林在1913年永久地离开了英国,与一些演员一起启程到美国进行舞台喜剧表演。
在那里,他被星探招募到好莱坞喜剧片之王麦克·塞纳特的旗下工作。
3不幸的是,20世纪二三十年代的很多英国人认为卓别林的"流浪者"多少有点"粗俗"。
中产阶级当然这样认为;劳动阶级倒更有可能为这样一个反抗权势的角色拍手喝彩:他以顽皮的小拐杖使绊子,或把皮靴后跟对准权势者宽大的臀部一踢。
尽管如此,卓别林的喜剧乞丐形象并不那么像英国人,甚至也不像劳动阶级的人。
英国流浪者并不留小胡子,也不穿肥大的裤子或燕尾服:欧洲的领导人和意大利的侍者才那样穿戴。
另外,流浪汉瞟着漂亮女孩的眼神也有些粗俗,被英国观众认为不太正派——只有外国人才那样,不是吗?而在卓别林大半的银幕生涯中,银幕上的他是不出声的,也就无法证明他是英国人。
4事实上,当卓别林再也无法抵制有声电影,不得不为他的流浪者找"合适的声音"时,那确实令他头痛。
他尽可能地推迟那一天的到来:1936的《摩登时代》是第一部他在影片里发声唱歌的电影,他扮演一名侍者,操着编造的胡言乱语,听起来不像任何国家的语言。
后来他说,他想像中的流浪汉是一位受过大学教育,但已经家道败落的绅士。
但假如他在早期那些短小喜剧电影中能操一口受过教育的人的口音,那么他是否会闻名世界就值得怀疑了,而英国人也肯定会觉得这很"古怪"。
虽然没有人知道卓别林这么干是不是有意的,但是这促使他获得了巨大的成功。
5他是一个有巨大才能的人,他的决心之大甚至在好莱坞明星中也是十分少见的。
他的巨大名声为他带来了自由,更重要的是带来了财富,他因此得以成为自己的主人。
随着事业的发展,他感到了一种冲动要去发掘并扩展自己身上所显露的天才。
当他第一次在银幕上看到自己扮演的流浪汉时,他说:"这不可能是我。
那可能吗?瞧这角色多么与众不同啊!"而这种吃惊唤起了他的想像。
卓别林并没有把他的笑料事先写成文字。
他是那种边表演边根据身体感觉去创造艺术的喜剧演员。
没有生命的物体特别有助于卓别林发挥自己艺术家的天赋。
他会将这些物体发挥成其他东西。
因此,在《当铺老板》中,一个坏闹钟变成了正在接受手术的"病人";在《淘金记》中,靴子被煮熟,靴底蘸着盐和胡椒被吃掉,就像上好的鱼片(鞋钉就像鱼骨那样被剔除)。
这种对具体事物的发挥转化,以及他一次又一次做出这种转化的技巧,正是卓别林伟大喜剧的奥秘。
他也深切地渴望被爱,同时相应地害怕遭到背叛。
这两者很难结合在一起,有时这种冲突导致了灾难,就像他早期的几次婚姻那样。
然而即使是这种以沉重代价换来的自知之明也在他的喜剧创作中得到了表现。
流浪汉始终没有失去对卖花女的信心,相信她正等待着与自己共同走进夕阳之中;而卓别林的另一面使他的《凡尔杜先生》,一个杀了妻子的法国人,成为了仇恨女人的象征。
令人宽慰的是,生活最终把他先前没能获得的稳定的幸福给了卓别林。
他找到了沃娜·奥尼尔·卓别林这个伴侣。
她的稳定和深情跨越了他们之间37岁的年龄差距。
他们的年龄差别太大,以致当1942年他们要结婚时,新娘公布了他们的结婚日期后,为他们办理手续的官员问这位漂亮的17岁姑娘:"那年轻人在哪儿?" ——当时已经54岁的卓别林一直小心翼翼地在外面等候着。
由于沃娜本人出生在一个被各种麻烦困扰的大家庭,她对卓别林生活中将面临的挑战也做好了充分准备,因为当时有毫无根据的流言说他俩是马克思主义的同情者。
后来在他们自己的有那么多天才孩子的大家庭中,卓别林有时会引发争吵,而她则成了安宁的中心。
卓别林死于1977年圣诞节。
几个月后,几个近乎可笑的盗尸者从他的家庭墓室盗走了他的尸体以借此诈钱。
警方追回了他的尸体,其效率比麦克·塞纳特拍摄的启斯东喜剧片中的笨拙警察要高得多。
但是人们不禁会感到,卓别林一定会把这一奇怪的事件看作是对他的十分恰当的纪念——他以这种方式给这个自己曾带来这么多笑声的世界留下最后的笑声。
一位女政治家的政治生涯24岁的阿加莎·墨丹妮·姆波戈,为人谦虚,谈吐温柔,算不上是个革命者的形象,然而就在6个月前,她做了一件极富革命性的事情:她参加了肯尼亚恩布市的市长竞选,并且当选。
更令人感到意外的是,姆波戈女士是由区议会的同事们投票选出的,而那些人全是男性。
恩布市是一个位于内罗毕东北部的农业地区,距内罗毕需两个小时的车程。
在肯尼亚乃至整个非洲,妇女的政治力量日益壮大。
对于生活在此地的数千妇女来说,姆波戈成了这种力量的标志。
1992年,姆波戈女士开始追寻她的从政梦想,她竞选了恩布市议员。
像其他打算从政的非洲妇女一样,她面对着很多障碍:她缺钱;她没有政治经验;她要回答许多关于她个人生活的荒唐问题。
她说:"我的对手一口咬定我要与外市的人结婚,很快就会搬走。
"姆波戈还要面对本市妇女的诸多误解,她们中间有许多人起初并不愿意投票选举她。
她成为捍卫妇女政治权利的使者,向妇女团体发表演说。
她会挎着手提包,挨家挨户地去做演讲,并给他们讲解政体,一讲就是数小时。
"她胜出我很高兴,因为是男人们选举了她," 恩布市的一位农民政治活动家利迪亚·基曼尼如是说。
"这正是对我的祈祷的回应,因为它似乎战胜了这种观念:女人当不了领导者。
"非洲妇女的教育已经成为政治活动家们着重优先考虑的问题。
有个机构已经在肯尼亚农村举办了十几个专题讨论会,目的是帮助妇女理解国家宪法以及民主政治制度所体现的程序及理论。
一位资深的女政治活动家说,许多妇女连参政的最基本知识都没有。
她说,她们在竞选运动中只知道谁"给你半公斤面粉、200克食盐或一条面包",她们就投票选谁。
妇女政治活动家们说她们正在与根深蒂固的文化传统作斗争。
